Increased use of waitlist this year?

I think ND may have a deeper waitlist this year because it is much tougher than normal for them to predict yield this year. Their yield equations have two variables they haven’t had to consider before: the down economy is the obvious factor but it is also the first year they are using the common application. I won’t be surprised to hear more students were placed on the waitlist this year and expect the percentage of waitlist admits will be higher than in the recent past. Good luck to all of you on the waitlist if ND is still your first choice.
